Hair

It’s winter and there is no way I’m stepping outside with wet hair, so I recently invested in a diffuser to speed up the drying process. However, when using it I realized it wasn’t as simple as it seemed. When trying to find videos on how to properly diffuse my hair, I couldn’t find any of women who had short natural hair — so I decided to do my own. Here’s a simple tutorial on how to diffuse your hair…

Sunday evenings for me are all about self-care these days. My ideal Sunday Funday is spent reviving my hair and skin from the past week’s wear and tear, so I can not only kill it on Monday, but look refreshed while doing so. This weekend I decided to document my current Sunday hair routine, with particular emphasis on a product that has played such a big part in how healthy and vibrant my newly natural hair is, Jamaican Black Castor…

So I had a brief hiatus as I got settled in to my my new job and worked on our New York Fashion Week show, but I am so happy to be back to blogging. Since my big chop I haven’t had a chance to properly discuss my experience or even give more detail as to what my reasoning is behind having done it. Therefore, I put together a short video highlighting just that, as well as my current go-to…

For those of you who have been reading my blog for some time now, you know my go-to style since I’ve been transitioning is a flexi rod set. Lately, however, I’ve been looking to do a style that takes up less of my time so I’ve been rocking a braid and curl. This style uses way less rods and honestly is much easier and quicker in my opinion to accomplish — it gives a nice textured look as well, which…

I honestly can’t believe that it has been almost 7-months since the last time I have gotten a relaxer! The time literally flew by and I am really pleased with the way my journey has gone so far. I’ve definitely learned a bit along the way, and continue to do so. I haven’t been the best at “length checking” and whatnot to document my progress, so figured it’s about time I do a video to compare to my 4-month update…

I love the look of a fresh flexi rod set, but having to re-do it constantly is a pain. Therefore, I’ve been experimenting with a number of different up-do options. So I decided to put together a quick tutorial on how I whipped a ruined flexi rod set into a sexy date night up-do in 5-minutes. Enjoy!

I honestly don’t know about you, but ever since I’ve started to transition my hair from relaxed to natural — my scalp has been on fire! Everyday, even after a recent wash or applying some oil the itch has been incessant. I’m not sure if it’s simply the growth or perhaps product build up, but I have been on the hunt for something that tackles the problem head on (pun intended). Fortunately, Cantu recently dropped some wonderful new products made…

As you know I’ve recently gotten in to using head wraps, especially now that I’m transitioning my hair from relaxed to natural. They are honestly such a life saver on those bad hair days, rainy days and days you just don’t feel like doing a thing! So, I decided to put together a tutorial of 3 different ways to style your head wraps this summer using my fabulous Knots UK Head Wrap in Rouge ($25). Enjoy! …

Most of you who read my blog regularly know that I am transitioning my hair from relaxed to natural. You also know that my go to style as of late to help this transition has been a flexi rod set. Recently, however, I decided to switch things up a bit and try out a twist and curl, which is basically a twist out but with rods on the end. To achieve this look I’ve been using some new products I…
